Oh, I needed a better solution to store the HW slot number of a
VINTF configuration that links a pSID and a vSID, which I hacked
into struct arm_smmu_stream for now. So, with this struct dev_id,
likely I can tie it to this structure.

For a driver, pSID is known with a device pointer, while likely
no use to the iommufd core?

Also, I will address the other comments in your reply.
